Caregiver Skills Training Series

Caregiver Quick Tips – Parents and caregivers of children with autism have a new tool in their tool box: a video training series to help them support their child’s development at home. Based on the traditionally in-person Caregiver Skills Training (CST) program – a collaboration between the World Health Organization (WHO) and Autism Speaks – Autism Speaks created a new Caregiver Quick Tips video series that teaches caregivers how to use play and everyday routines to help their child share activities, expand their communication, learn new skills and more.
